Tripods don't have a shit-fit there is no new offer for free Chick Fil A. I just did not think this warranted a new thread.

Since i have been in the Atlanta area for about 2 months now, i have jumped and I mean Jumped on the Chick Fil A bandwagon. The franchise started in the Atlanta area and they are everywhere down here. I never gave them much of a thought but now I am hooked on the 4 piece chicken strips meal with the Chick Fil A sauce. I was back in Ohio on business this week and I missed my Chick Fil A fix. I have got to get some this week. What is the secret? Do they add an addictive drug to the food somehow? It has definitely become my number 1 fast food restaurant.

I will never have it 50+ times a year like FUDU does the Chipotle pilgrimage but the place rocks.

I'm way off the pace for 2011, only 9 trips to Chipotle so far this year. However my Penn Station visits are up as are my gyro trips. I'm trying to eat a little bit more balanced diet this year.

Throughout the course of my travels for eats I have uncovered a harrowing correlation between long lines and traffic jams. Without fail it always comes down to one person, if we can just figure out a way to eliminate that one person I think we can solve most of the worlds problems.

You fu#$ers are all idiots. Eat at Five Guys burgers. Best fast food hands down. Chick fil A? Seriously, I could go out and get a jar of Vlasics and save my self the indigestion. Their sandwiches always have a strong tastes of pickles regardless of whether I get them taken off or not. Its like they have all the sandwiches pre-made and a guy just stands in the back taking off what people don't want.

As overrated as Duke basketball.

I hate wet, limp, greasey fries and the burgers taste like I made them at home on a skilet wallowing in grease. I can do that with my eyes closed at half price. YTF do I want to then go out and pay for that?

Then this whole mess must be the individual locations we eat at. The one here in Beachwood is outstanding. The burger there reminds me of the 4th of July and their fries have never been limp or wet. Sucks too, because I know Chick-Fil-A has a good rep. I'll still take Popeyes (but with Church's biscuits).

You wish you grew up in Poland, farmboy. ;-) In fact, I attribute mich of your effite Masshole snobbery to latent Poland envy growing up.

Fortunately, Strutters remains a buffer still. Soth of Matthews starting near Trafficant's house is still pretty pristine.

Things get "interesting" at Indianola (Road, not avenue). North of Midlothian is hood. Drove by St Dom's one weekend afternoon when it was 60 degrees recently and it looked like an old Dr Dre/Snoop video down the sidestreets.

I'm leaning with JB anymore on 5 Guys, unless it is the Lakewood location itself, they are just eh anymore. They taste fine but the quality is bleh, by no means garbage, and sorry JB Wendy's is dumpster food. 5 Guys fries are a matter of location IMO, most times I get em they are top notch, not as good as Penn Station fries though.

You'll get a better burger at 99% of most bar n grilles than 5 Guys in Ctown.

Clausen is the only mass produced grocer pickles I'll ever eat.

Wedy's is the caddilac of fast food. You could pay $ 8 for a burger thats not as good.

I don't hate 5 Guys brugers. I just don't get the fuss. It's awe-ite. And I hate natural cut fries when they are greasy as hell. All preference.

If you don't dig Packos pickle & pepper dills, you have no soul. But agree on the fridged pickles thing. Gotta be deli quality. I never get a JJ's sub w/ out the pickle tho.

Wendy's absolutely blows. I'd rather eat curry off the ground in a Calcutta alleyway than go to Wendy's. The only good there is the frosty and that's because it's hard to fuck that up.

Ur spleefed 'Pods. A double wit cheese and fries (even tho the news ones aren't quite as good) dunked in ketchup mixed with the hot chilli sauce is the best burger/fry combo item available from any order-at-the-counter joint anywhere, including Freddies and In & Out.

This ^^^

The Wendys by us no longer carries the chili sauce and I refuse to go to that one anymore. Can't have the fries w/o it.

and no mixing w/ ketchup, take it straight

Galley Boys are slop on top of a so-so burger and a bun you coulde get from a Covneninet food mart generic pack. They the Antoine Joubert of burgers; soft, sloppy, oozing grease and cheap sauce and extremely overrated by a biased fan base. Proof that if you throw enough cheap sauce shit on a burger you still can't overcome the lame burger. -JB

I went to Chik Fil A one time and vowed never again. The chicken was not even real chicken, it was that diced and spliced fake patty. Nasty. The fries were damn good though. Five Guys I could eat weekly and not get tired of it. My son and I always sneak peanut shells into my wife's purse and coat pockets. She pulls peanuts out for weeks after a visit which makes it that much more enjoyable to go there.

Don't go there often but when I do it's a 2bl w/cheese, fries, and small chili w/chs and extra hotsauce. Need enough for the chili and the fries.

We've done this before but I'll forever swear that the Big Boy from Manners was the best burger of all time. Not the canadian thousand island sauce either. The tartar sauce. Like the Manner's/Bob's at Babbit & Lakeshore or 272nd and Euclid when I was growing up.

As one who refuses to eat McDonalds it's between the occasional Whopper w/cheese or Wendy's 2b. I like Wendy's. It's clearly you who is gorked here.

Love Rally's, thank you very much. Hardly ever go there because the closest one is somewhere I don't usually go past. Big fan of their fries and the burgers, albeit greasy, are more filling than most places. Plus, I can get 2/$3.

I don't like the bullshit flame-broiled taste of BK. I rarely go there either.

Wendy's is so beyond awful, I cannot for the life of me fathom why people like it so much. Even when I went, I'd get chicken nuggets because the burgers are so unappetizing.

I like McDonalds, quite a bit actually. Convenient, cheap, and tasty. Couldn't care less about Morgan Asshole Spurlock's documentary. Couldn't care less about all the bitching people do about McD and how unhealthy it is.

That said, give me Taco Bell or Arby's over McD. Nothing beats Taco Bell for me in terms of the easy-access fast food joints. Swenson's and Chick-Fil-A are far better on taste, but nothing beats 3 tacos and a chicken burrito for $4.

THE effin best...

Gotta hit up a BB in Columbus to get the good tartar...

Used to get double BB's w/ fried 'shrooms over by Neff 'n Lakeshore, sheer Heaven...

Wendy's is severely over rated, better than MCD's of course (McD's is worst restaurant on the planet, reason is they are also the largest).

Whopper's are pretty damn good burgers, for fast food. Big Bufords are good JB b/c you're drunk when you eat em, at least you should be, also the reason why they're cheap. You don't even have to chew em, that is by design, see drunk comments above. Wendy's actually has pretty decent chicken sandwiches.

I'm with peeker though, Big Boy burgers were awesome, might be best ever.

The catch with fast food sandwiches though is mostly about the promotions they have going on, I mean they all have some fairly average to god awful food but if you get the right deal sometimes one stands out way above the others (IE 2 whoppers for $4, etc for Wendy's or even America's Roast Beef).

Haven't had a BB in years. Gonna have to pilgrammage that shit. Used to b one off Tallmadge sqaure in Akron, too, as late as the 90's.

More I think on it more FUDU has a point about tavern burgers. You put a Gally Slave next to a Ray's Place Mofo and it's like Snooki next to Brooklyn Decker. I lived for over adecade in the Kent area, "pods. Had all the Summit types hoein' for Swensons repeatedly. Tried it many times without hate. It just ain't the shit, brah.

Remember my mom taking us to Manner's in Valley View, grabbing a sckful of BB's and heading over to the Cloverleaf Drive In to catch the Apple Dumpling Gang, Swiss Family Robinson or whatever the latest Disney flavor of the week movie was playing.

I made the mistake of trying to eat Rally's in the middle of the day. No way can anyone digest that unless they have at least a 6 pack in 'em or half a fifth of bourbon. Kinda the reason the original Big Egg was packed between 1:30 and 5am and barely a soul in there during real breakfast hours.

Had my first taste of Sonic last weekend. May probably be my last as it was none too impressive or memorable.

Head over to Rockn'e and get a Max the Knife, so big two can enjoy.

Everything at Packo's are amazing, anyone that thinks anything other is just plain wrong, no use in arguing it. Spicy Ketchup, Dogs, Chili and those god damn fried pickles. First stop everytime back. Everytime.

The only explanation for this is that you went to the Chik Fil A and not Chick-fil-a. Because at the real Chick-Fil-A the chicken is real and delicious and certainly not the fake meat shit at Mickey D's or Burger King. It is the real shizzy, quit going to the poser.

Official Rankings of Fast Food Burgers and these can not be argued with

1. In and Out - Animal style only, must be 3x3 or bigger

2. Culvers - double butter burger

3. Five Guys4. Wendy's Double with cheese5. Sonic6. McDouble - must be hungover and eat at least 3

7. Everyone else including the crap that BK serves (the Whopper blows), every other McD's burger, Rally's, Jackoff in the Box, Carls Jr. Hardees and all the other crap.

Oh and FTR the Chick-fil-a chicken biscuit is phenomenal. The spicy one might be better.

Oh and don't dispute these rankings. I can not come up with a glaring omission so unless someone can point one out the ranking is firm.

Ziner your credibility on food has taken a huge hit here, why, b/c you have McD's on the list, let alone at 6. I've had shits that look more appetizing than burgers from McD's. They literally have the worst tasting food ever, the only redeeming thing they have is their fries and those have been out done by competitors for years now.
